Plays 23 minutes in MLS debut Giroud generated one scoring chance as a substitute in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Houston Dynamo. Impact Giroud made his first league appearance for LAFC as he replaced Cristian Olivera for the final stretch of Saturday's defeat, winning half of his four duels and being fouled once during his time on the field. The 2018 World Cup winner had already seen action with his new team in the Leagues Cup, scoring once in 168 minutes of play, after arriving as a star signing for the remainder of the campaign. He'll push for a starting spot in upcoming fixtures at the expense of either Olivera or Mateusz Bogusz.
